An added bonus could be the sighting of elephants, warthogs and maybe a rhino, plus many birds and colourful butterflies.

INDIGENOUS VILLAGE EXPERIENCE

Visit a local Giriama tribe village. Participate in indigenous drumming and African dance. Make traditional coconut oil and wine straight from the coconut tree. Participate in Giriama plant-based cooking lessons. Learn how to live from the “earth”, and the ways of the local people.

WILDLIFE AND SIGHTSEEING

Visit breath taking beaches and tourist sites. Get up close with Kenya’s coastal wildlife on this full-day tour to the Marine Park. Set sail in search of spinner and bottle-nosed dolphins and dugongs, barracuda and tuna. From August to October you may see a hump-backed whale on migration, and from November to April, whale sharks and manta rays are sometimes seen. Benefit from your private guide’s insights to optimize your chances of swimming alongside marine life. Afterwards, head to one of the marine park’s secluded beaches for lunch, plus snorkelling to see the coral, tropical fish, and turtles native to the region.

Your life changing experience does not stop there!

MAKE YOUR OWN PLANT MEDICINE WORKSHOP:

Take control of your health with our Indigenous African herbal medicine and healing workshop. Our expert herbalist will teach you how to make your own remedies and implement wellness techniques to prevent a variety of health conditions for optimum health.

NUTRITION & HEALTH WORKSHOP:

Africa is home to leafy greens, root vegetables, tubers and beans, and many different plant crops across its lands. Indigenous African food is organic, natural, and whole. The knowledge of nutrition as medicine was passed down generationally from clan to clan, tribe to tribe and now we are passing it on to you.
This workshop teaches you about eating based on the healthy food traditions of the African people. This healthy way of eating is powerfully nutritious and delicious, and naturally meets the guidelines experts recommend for supporting good health.

SPA TREATMENTS
We will make use of sacred and ancient knowledge in our spa treatments by combining exclusive blends of plant ingredients such as such as baobab, moringa, and shea butter with traditional African rituals to give clients a truly unique and healing experience, achieving the ultimate balance of mind, body and soul. 

COMMUNITY & CONNECTION:
Connect with a high vibe community of likeminded souls.
FREE SESSIONS: Spend the day how you'd like- beach day, lounge by the pool, curl up in a hammock with a book, explore the town, and/or indulge in a nap day.

There is no better place than the stunning, tropical paradise location of Kenyan beaches.
